Re: root access on Xperia X10

+1 for me too, I completely understand the consequences about loosing my warranty and am willing to take the chance. a LOT of people are willing to switch from other phones to this one if it has root also. We don't want to modify or breach copyright at all, we just want to be able to fully customize Android to our choosing. It's open-source after all

Re: root access on Xperia X10

This is the first usefull Post here :-D + 100000 yes SE just give us Root access to the Device , if you only capble to bring a 2.1 Software Update after 1 Year the Device is released so at least just let us play with Root :-) Very interesting if someone from SE is able to Answer here not only with "Sorry no Root for you"

Re: root access on Xperia X10

It's my second phone, and also my second sony ericsson phone, (fist was G502) and I see thant SE phone got some flaws that I can't see in others company phone (random reboot on g502 and on x10 too O_o)

And if I can't do on your(yes, you Sony Ericsson) android phone what everybody can do with their android phone, why should I keep this x10 ? Why should I trust you ?
